Nashville, Tennessee, United States

I transitioned from an environmental lab into traditional environmental consulting, where I supported subject matter experts for the Four Rivers Nuclear Partnership Environmental Services Project. My focus was on the Sitewide Groundwater Strategy at the U.S. DOE Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant. In addition to federal projects, I conducted local due.

Knoxville, Tennessee, United States

In this position, I leveraged my expertise in geochemistry and environmental engineering for SiREM, an environmental laboratory specializing in environmental tools that optimize remediation efforts. I supervised our team in Knoxville, TN, where we conducted treatability studies for various industries, including oil & gas, railroads, manufacturing, drinking.

Acton, Massachusetts

As a member of the groundwater practice in Geosyntec, I aided in groundwater assessment and remediation projects. Field experience during this role included groundwater purging, sampling, and monitoring, wastewater sampling, and soil vapor intrusion monitoring.

State College, Pennsylvania Area

I applied my growing knowledge of plant biology to experiments involving plant genomes and G protein cell signaling, expanding my experience in molecular biology benchwork and plant physiological assays.Additionally, I coordinated operational and managerial activities in the lab. I ensured compliance with laboratory safety and pesticide safety guidelines.

State College, Pennsylvania Area

I began my role in the Dr. Sally Assmann's lab by managing a team of nine researchers across three research spaces, including two general wet labs and a Conviron plant chamber lab.In this position, I gained experience in preparing the workspace and staff for compliance with university and state-wide regulatory requirements. To minimize hazards in the lab.

I completed yoga teacher training (RYT-200) with Erica Kaufman and the Lila Yoga Institute. I previously taught classes at Lila Yoga Studios. I also teach outside the studio for private and community events.

State College, Pennsylvania

I completed an M.S. in Environmental Engineering under the mentorship of Dr. Christopher A. Gorski.My thesis project focused on the stability of iron oxide-organic carbon associations in peatland soils. Sudden changes in the redox regimes of peatlands can trigger significant fluxes of organic carbon into surrounding environments, eventually converting into.

Tempe, Arizona

For my senior honors thesis, I examined the (U-Th)/He geochronology of baked sediments within the San Francisco Volcanic Field in order to establish ages of various eruptions.I was responsible for picking appropriate sample sites using satellite and topographic maps and field assessments. After sample collecting, I retrieved zircon and apatite through.

Ladakh, India

I was invited to assist with fieldwork for the National Science Foundation Continental Dynamics Project in the Transhimalayan Orogenic System of northwest India. The project and subsequent publication aimed to assess the correlation of a suture zone in the Southern Tibetan Plateau across major post-suturing transcurrent faults. During this venture, I.

Phoenix, Arizona And Sonora, Mexico

I participated in the US-Mexico Water and Environmental Sustainability (UMB-WEST) campaign, an initiative aimed at understanding hydrology through the lenses of science, culture, and policy. This one-month research program provided valuable insights into the intricate dynamics of watersheds along the US-Mexico border, revealing complexities that extend far.
